Find all the information you need about the new 2022 ESID bridge grant, exclusively for ESID junior members!
Aim of the grant
ESID wants to invest in the future of researchers and clinicians committed to PIDs. Therefore ESID Bridge Grants aim to allow trainees working on PIDs to continue their activity in the field of PID in their institution or another institution during short periods of time until they can find other financial sources, thus avoiding the interruption of their training process.
